Everyone: Check Your Oil!
So i don't know if I have a problem with the rings or not, but i recently changed my plugs after noticing a huge drop in my MPG's. Only the driver side spark plugs had oil on them, the other three were dry.
When i accelerate i can smell something burning very noticeably??
My friend said it may be blowby, i hope it's just the valve cover gasket.

I noticed a huge drop in my MPG too so I think I'll check my spark plugs soon!
I just cant afford to pay those prices man.
I've done lots of Hondas, never a Nissan.
heres a good one that shows the valve covers.

My car's engine died because of this. My car would never tell me I needed oil, and I didn't know it was consuming it. So when I went for an oil change, they told me I had no oil. I was like WTF? Are you kidding me I change the oil every 2,000 miles. So then after the oil change, my car died on me and it turned out that the rods were done. The engine lasted me 103,000 miles.
I have another used engine now with 49,000 miles on it now. When I replaced it, the mechanic told me, "This time, make sure to put oil in your engine because the old one had NO oil in it." That's weird how the old engine didn't have any oil, because I had just changed the oil before the rods died on me.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is because my new one is burning it as well. Just gotta keep monitoring it.
